The Rulez, here restated:
quote:The idea is simple: a compilation consisting of 20 songs... each track is chosen by a different person here.
Post one song, following on from the previous one (there'll probably be some problems involving 2 people posting at once, but we'll work it out). Explain why you've chosen that track if you like - but you don't have to, and there doesn't have to be a reason beyond "I like it".
....Since everyone has an equal share in this, please also refrain from posting "but that song SUCKS!" or "you've RUINED it!" messages. If you don't like the sound of a tape so far, you can always start a new one.
This is dedicated to all our exes, to be played alone in the car in those useless hours between sunset and sleep, or upon waking at 3 am, Monday morning, unable to face the idea of heading into the world when the alarm goes off in four hours.
Opening sample: Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon, the fusty old man at the end saying, "There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact, it's all dark."
Track one: Codeine - D. Slow core, with jazz chords. Picture Black Flag singing about ex-girlfriends, then slow the record down to 16 rpm. And add a couple sevenths. Grinding, bleak, and heeeaaaavvvvy.
"D for effort. D for intent. D because you paid the rent.
D for dishes. F for floors. Can't make the grade anymore."
